Our time with Melissa well exceeded our expectations. We were moving from out of town and had just a short amount of time to find a house and we were very picky with what we wanted. Melissa's knowledge of the area was fantastic and she seemed to know exactly what we wanted based on our short conversation. We were able to visit 10 homes in one afternoon, narrow it down to 3, and make an offer in 3 short d...
We sold our home in Wellesley in mid 2018 and Melissa was the listing broker for the property. Melissa prepared a thorough analysis of the local market, with specific emphasis on the most comparable listings and sales for our home, enabling us to accurately and confidently price the property. Melissa's advice on preparing the property for showings and managing the selling process was terrific. She person...
We were extremely pleased with Melissa. She was extraordinarily knowledgeable, professional, decisive, hands-on, and a pleasure to work with. We had not sold a house in 18 years, and the real estate marketplace had changed dramatically during that time. We felt like novices. We interviewed 5 local real estate brokers and from that process hired Melissa. We couldn't have asked for a better result. Our hom...

If you are considering to buy or sell property in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Melissa Dailey should be on the top of your list. She knows this market the best. There are a lot of agents who would love to list in Wellesley, but not many who can close the deals. We loved working with Melissa. Despite her busy schedule, she was always available and on the top of things. There was no per say Team Melissa, but ...
We first met Melissa about 1.5 years before we sold our house. We debated whether or not to sell over that time period and the entire time she demonstrated patience and understanding. When we were finally ready to sell, Melissa was efficient in listing our home, scheduling open houses or showings and generating interest. Within short order we had an offer and closed on our house. At times, the negotiatio...
Melissa was phenomenal throughout our entire search and home buying experience. She is extremely knowledgeable about the many Wellesley neighborhoods, developers, schools, etc. It made the buying process much easier than we expected!

We got to know Melissa Dailey many years ago when we moved to Wellesley. When we decided to sell our house to move to another house within Wellesley, she was the obvious choice. She and her team were very effective in lining up buyers for our old house and completed that transaction in a very timely fashion. When buying our new house, her guidance and familiarity with all aspects of Wellesley helped trem...
Melissa was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Wellesley market. She was patient with me during a long search and multiple offers (due to a very competitive buyers market in my price range during my search). Melissa was very communicative and accessible throughout the entire process, and even kept in touch months after the closing. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to move ...
We purchased our first home in Weston with Melissa. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Wellesley and Weston market and was a pleasure to work with. She provided her insight and guidance throughout the process, without ever putting pressure on us to to make a decision. She was always available and responsive and answered any questions thoroughly. Would recommend her to anyone buying in the area.
Melissa represented us in our first and second home purchases in Wellesley, approximately 5 years apart. Melissa has a very strong intuitive sense of fair market value and her advice in the negotiation processes was exceptional. There are many excellent brokers in the area, but we would not consider working with anybody other than Melissa because of her exceptional judgment and character.
We worked with Melissa on both a sale and a purchase in Wellesley. This review is on the purchase and we were very happy with her making sure that all the procedural steps were completed and with her support in the price negotiations on our behalf. She was diligent in following up with the seller and in helping to resolve the few issues we encountered in the process.
I highly recommend working with Melissa when selling your home. She clearly has your best interest in mind. It took our house years to sell. Throughout that time Melissa was patient and worked with us on how to best position our home. She was honest and supportive. I will definitely use her again in the future.
Melissa is an absolute professional, imminently capable in all facets of real estate representation. I worked with her to purchase a new home, then list and sell my previous home and her advice was always on-point, and her skillful navigation through the complexities was impressive.
Our experience with Melissa was outstanding. She provided a complete and thorough market analysis and made recommendations. She helped arrange the help we needed to get ready for market and our home sold very quickly. I would highly recommend her. She did an outstanding job for us.
I highly recommend Melissa to help you find your next home. She listened to our needs and wants and budget, and was able to help us find the perfect home for us. She is an expert when it comes to the properties in the town of Wellesley! Contact her to help you find your new home.
Melissa worked very hard to sell our home. Through advertising, Open houses and several client viewings, we had a lot of exposure. She has an excellent knowledge of the properties and brokers in Wellesley and was helpful in guiding us through the process until we had a buyer.
Very knowledgeable and responsive! I worked with Melissa Dailey on my town home purchase, and it has been one of my best decisions. I highly recommend Melissa for any one looking to list or purchase a home.
